Description
The descent starts mellow with nice and wide turns in the open forest. Then becomes steeper, and you slide down steep sections on the soft dirt. Mostly the surface is even and not too technical but more roots and rocks will come out in the future for sure.
The middle part is a bit more rocky, and we missed the trail for a few meters. The lower part is really great. The terrain is used perfectly to create awesome turns and compressions and the trail winds down through the narrow forest.
Access
The first 2/3 of the climb is on an easy road. Then on a dirt road which gets super sticky when wet. Find the whole loop here: https://trailguide.net/4217

Peter Seidl reported the conditions at Monte Montagnana as good. A bit sticky in the upper part, keep the speed high to clean the tires.
A little icy in some shady spots, but no problem.26.dec.2018
